Cool Carbon Fiber or Chrome Altezzas on Silver Sedan?

I was planning on putting Altezza tail lights on my 01 Silver Sedan, but I can't decide on chrome or carbon fiber. I've seen the chrome altezzas on some sedans, but I've never seen howthe carbon fiber ones look on a silver sedan. Anyone out there have pics of chrome or silver altezzas on a silver sedan? Thanks!

I would save your money and spend it on something else.
If you really wanted, then go for carbon fibre.

If your really really sure you want them then get the cf... just because less people have them. like rckdrmr said, you probal will end up changing your mind about them later. I know alot of people who bought them.. then took them off.

Chrome tezzas make the car look cheap, imo. I've had them on my sedan, then decided they looked really ugly and took em off. The coupe up there actually looks pretty good.

If you must..........

I suggest get the "Carbon Fiber" ones.....

You will want to get rid of them like 3 months after you get them.....

Here are the tail lights I was planning on getting. Not sure how the carbon fiber would look on a silver car though.

sorry but altezzas are rice, and a great example of it would be the guy that posted that hade cf ones. I dont understand why someone would put such cheap looking tail lights on their car and make the whole thing loook cheap. I think that just goes hand in hand with huge honda banners or 'h' banners, we know its a honda dont put it big enough for the world to see. Another thing about them i dont like is that their not real cf, and all the fake cf is is black and grey checkers.cheap

I'd say neither. Either the Jag type-s style (look similar to 03-04 tails), or UKDM, or real 03-04 tails. Like everyone has said, you're probably gona be sick of them in 3 months or less.

if you can find them, check out the UKDM tails for a custom look. they're pretty nice as far as i remember and dont look "rice".
